I am un able to run VB 6.At first,the error was the "config.nt not suitable to run a MS-DOS application".I did some searching and found a site that offered 3 files: 1)config.nt 2)autoexect. 3)command. I d/l and ran the files and still not able to run VB.NOW the error is:DOSX.EXE needs to be in autoexe. and in the PATH.I have read the topics regaurding these issues and my autoexec. and config.nt files say the same as what others have said that they should look like.I notice someone saying to make sure you have the HIMEM.SYS file in the system 32 folder which i don't! Could this be my problem?If so,how do i create one?
Also,i have ran AV program and my puter is clean!!

REM To disable the sound blaster 2.0 support on NTVDM, specify an invalidREM SB base I/O port address. For example:REM SET BLASTER=A0

REMREM CONFIG.SYS vs CONFIG.NTREM CONFIG.SYS is not used to initialize the MS-DOS environment.REM CONFIG.NT is used to initialize the MS-DOS environment unless aREM different startup file is specified in an application's PIF.REMREM ECHOCONFIGREM By default, no information is displayed when the MS-DOS environmentREM is initialized. To display CONFIG.NT/AUTOEXEC.NT information, addREM the command echoconfig to CONFIG.NT or other startup file.REMREM NTCMDPROMPTREM When you return to the command prompt from a TSR or while running anREM MS-DOS-based application, Windows runs COMMAND.COM. This allows theREM TSR to remain active. To run CMD.EXE, the Windows command prompt,REM rather than COMMAND.COM, add the command ntcmdprompt to CONFIG.NT orREM other startup file.REMREM DOSONLYREM By default, you can start any type of application when runningREM COMMAND.COM. If you start an application other than an MS-DOS-basedREM application, any running TSR may be disrupted. To ensure that onlyREM MS-DOS-based applications can be started, add the command dosonly toREM CONFIG.NT or other startup file.REMREM EMMREM You can use EMM command line to configure EMM(Expanded Memory Manager).REM The syntax is:REMREM EMM = [A=AltRegSets] [B=BaseSegment] [RAM]REMREM AltRegSetsREM specifies the total Alternative Mapping Register Sets youREM want the system to support. 1 <= AltRegSets <= 255. TheREM default value is 8.REM BaseSegmentREM specifies the starting segment address in the Dos conventionalREM memory you want the system to allocate for EMM page frames.REM The value must be given in Hexdecimal.REM 0x1000 <= BaseSegment <= 0x4000. The value is rounded down toREM 16KB boundary. The default value is 0x4000REM RAMREM specifies that the system should only allocate 64Kb addressREM space from the Upper Memory Block(UMB) area for EMM page framesREM and leave the rests(if available) to be used by DOS to supportREM loadhigh and devicehigh commands. The system, by default, wouldREM allocate all possible and available UMB for page frames.REMREM The EMM size is determined by pif file(either the one associatedREM with your application or _default.pif). If the size from PIF fileREM is zero, EMM will be disabled and the EMM line will be ignored.REMdos=high, umbdevice=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sysfiles=40

Also,when i go to "run" and type "command.com" i get the same config.nt error.All 3 files(command,autoexe and config) are not checked in properties.I have googled this and thought it might be due to Sp2 updates so i uninstalled the updates and tried to install but same problem! I have been at this now for 3 days.I'm short from suicide.LOL.PLS someone help me!!!
